Chapter 48 The Pretty Widow Next Door 21



She looked at Chen Miaoyi and An Changrui with displeasure, as if they had done something dirty behind her back.

"Princess, why are you here?"

An Changrui's face changed. How did Princess Kangning know that he was coming here?

Princess Kangning walked to the table and sat down. "Why, did I come here to ruin your good fortune?"

An Changrui was a little annoyed. He was no longer the person who needed the help of his wife's family to gain a foothold, and Princess Kangning obviously did not understand this fact.

"Why do you say that? I just want to see an old friend."

Thinking that the two families are now on the same front, An Changrui endured it. This is not a good time to fall out.

"Old friend? Speaking of which, this is also an old friend of mine. Why didn't my husband invite me to come along?"

Princess Kangning looked at Chen Miaoyi with a vicious gaze. To her, these two people were equally hateful when they were in collusion with each other!

"Did you give birth to your child?"

Princess Kangning asked while looking at her belly. She was very concerned about whose child this was. When she heard the servant report where An Changrui had gone, she immediately followed.

"Of course, after ten months of pregnancy, the baby must be born."

"I came here in a hurry today and didn't have time to bring a gift. I will make up for it another day."

"Your husband, a businessman, is probably often away from home, right? As a woman, you must be careful about your safety."

Princess Kangning said this half threateningly and half with false concern, her heart was extremely twisted. If An Changrui was not the person she liked, she would have killed both of them without leaving a single one alive.

"I'm here today to find my husband. I have good news to tell you. I'm pregnant."

Princess Corning suddenly said, and took An Changrui's arm affectionately and coquettishly.

This shocked both An Changrui and Chen Miaoyi.

You're pregnant? You're actually pregnant? Chen Miaoyi felt that An Changrui was cheating on her. She could still get pregnant after being given a sterilization pill, unless the system's medicine had expired.

When An Changrui realized what was happening, he was ecstatic. "Really? We have a child?!"

Princess Kangning leaned shyly in his arms and looked at Chen Miaoyi provocatively.

She didn't know whether the baby in her belly was An Changrui's or not. Anyway, since it was born from her belly, it was hers, and that was all that mattered.

The child born from the princess's belly is naturally more precious than the one born by Chen Miaoyi. An Changrui no longer cares about Chen Miaoyi's twins at this time.

At worst, I can wait until they grow up and then go and recognize them, so that the An family’s bloodline can return to their roots.

But right now, the child in Princess Corning's belly is what makes the union between the two families more solid.

Women are far inferior to his great cause!

"Let's go back quickly. You're pregnant and you should stay at home to take care of the baby. Send someone to look for me next time. Don't run around by yourself."

An Changrui supported Princess Kangning, being extremely careful. He had been humble for so long, wasn't it just because he wanted a child to tie Princess Kangning's mother's family down?

"You go out first. I have a few words to say to Miss Chen."

After being shy, Princess Kangning regained her former arrogance. She just wanted to make Chen Miaoyi envious.

An Changrui looked back and forth between the two of them. "Then I'll wait for you outside. Go back and tell mother the news. She'll definitely be very happy."

As soon as An Changrui left, Princess Kangning no longer wanted to pretend.

"Didn't you say that An Changrui couldn't have children? Then how did this princess get pregnant?

This princess thinks you are jealous. He doesn't love you, so naturally he can't have children with you."

She looked at Chen Miaoyi arrogantly, trying to see a hint of regret or shame on her face.

But it didn't.

"I'm also curious about how you managed to conceive a child from someone who is infertile."

Chen Miaoyi approached her, "Could it be that it's not his?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Princess Kangning pushed her away. She was anxious because she really didn't know which guard's child this was.

She had a group of guards, and she also hid her lover among them.

Princess Kangning pretended to be calm, "We'll see! You'd better keep an eye on your two children at all times."

She can't deal with Chen Miaoyi now. Now is the critical moment. Later, she can kill anyone she wants!

These words were full of threats, but Chen Miaoyi knew that their arrogance would not last long.

On a winter night in the twelfth year of Xining, a palace coup occurred.

People in the city still remember seeing the flames from the palace rising into the sky from afar, lighting up half of the capital.

The fifth prince and the Rong family poisoned the emperor, intending to make the emperor make the fifth prince his successor. Unfortunately, the poison was administered but the person did not die.

The fifth prince was demoted to a commoner, and the Rong family was implicated along with nine generations of the clan. The first aristocratic family in the capital ceased to exist in an instant.

Some are happy and some are worried. One of the two most competitive princes is gone, and the remaining one is the most popular one.

Princess Corning has already reported the banquet extensively, tried to win over supporters, and even sent invitations to Chen Miaoyi time and time again, but she never accepted one.

Knowing there is a pit ahead, who would jump into it?

The emperor's health was deteriorating day by day. The betrayal of his son and concubine caused him not only physical pain but also mental pain.

The ministers clamored for the emperor to appoint a crown prince, so that when he died, there would be someone to succeed him with legitimate rights.

This is the first time that the wind direction in the court has been so unanimous.

It seemed as if they were forcing the emperor to appoint a crown prince.

"You can't stay here tonight. I'm going to move you and the child to a safe place in case someone gets desperate."

Xiao Bijue came hurriedly. He had been very busy these days. The two children laughed out loud when they saw him.
